I was thinking with a unit of 6 jet bikes and a venom with the tank shock upgrade it seems like it would be easy to destroy units within 12". Surround the unit with jet bikes, then tank shock into the middle of it. Auto unit death. Is this right? Only costs 300 pts and they are units that you would take anyway. Seems like a solid option against stuff assaulting my lines.

Still leaves the units free to do stuff in the shooting phase too.

Difficult to pull off. Jetbikes and tank shocking scimmers only get 12" in the movement phase. In order for a jetbike to jump over and cover the rear of a unit it will need 60mm +1" of clearance from the opposite side of the unit. An opponent would need to be really sloppy to allow that to happen.

Why 6 cm? Jet bike bases are the small flight bases, at least they are for Reavers.
